Plain English training

We offer one-day and half-day courses and shorter workshops on applying plain English techniques to writing and layout.

Our plain English training courses vary from short workshops to half-day and full-day courses. We offer open courses, for people from different organisations, or can tailor a plain English course to a single organisation. We can also offer train-the-trainer courses to groups.

About our plain English training courses

Through real-world examples and exercises, we aim to make the training as relevant and informative as possible.
Regular exercises give participants the opportunity to apply what they learn in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere.

Our open courses are held in a convenient location for all participants. Our group courses are usually in the organisation's premises.

How to get plain English training

E-mail us to say whether you are interested in an open course, a group course for your organisation or a train-the-trainer course.

We will send you a course outline and a booking form and, for open courses, a list of course dates.

Fill in the form and return it to us. Note that we ask for about three weeks' notice of group courses, if possible.

We will then contact you to confirm your course booking and get sample documents (in the case of group and train-the-trainer courses). We treat any sample documents as confidential.

You can also inquire about plain English courses or make a booking by filling in our online training form.

This form lets you tell us about your group and its training needs, but you are not committed to a training course until we agree a date with you and one of our trainers.
